The present investigation emphasizes the pharmacognostic and phytochemical screening of and further evaluates the extracts of this plant for toxicological profile and anti-bacterial potential based on/ assays. Microscopy, powder characteristics of the leaf material, and physicochemical and phytochemical screening were assessed for pharmacognostic evaluation. Dry leaves of were extracted using different solvents (methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane), and the extracts obtained were further investigated for/ toxicological study. Moreover, acute toxicity was assessed by evaluating the anti-oxidant defense system and anatomical damage in vital organs. In addition, anti-bacterial activity of all the extracts was assessed by the Kirby-Bauer method. Physicochemical and microscopic observations showed the unique identification mark for leaf powder and leaf transverse section. Phytochemical investigation evidenced the presence of flavonoids and phenolic contents in the methanolic extract. All extracts were found to be hemocompatible and exhibited no induction of behavioral alteration and no alteration in the anti-oxidant potential and anatomical structure of the vital organs. On the other hand, the methanolic extract showed a significant upsurge in the reduced glutathione level, whereas all extracts showed significant anti-bacterial potential in a dose-dependent manner. has inimitable pharmacognostical characteristics, good safety profile and significant anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial potential that show immense possibility for its further investigation for pharmacological use.
Al-Si alloys is formulated using Butler equation and with the help of Redlich-Kister polynomials, excess Gibbs-free energy of nanoparticles in Al-Si system has been calculated considering particle size as 2 and 10 nm. Calculated results extend the thermodynamic information about the Al-Si system from bulk to nanomaterials. With the decrease of particle diameter, change in thermodynamic properties of the Al-Si system has been observed. Also, reduction in eutectic temperature, eutectic composition, and melting temperature of the constituents were observed. Liquidus and solidus boundaries of Al-Si phase diagram are also shift towards the lower temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
